I made a few more ornaments for my mostly paper-decorated tree. It's been super gloomy outside, so the corner of the living room with the tree is too dark for picture taking. Imagine these on a silver Christmas tree, instead of hanging from the wooden skewer I taped temporarily to the window sill to obtain maximum natural light. Ha!

Cut out the drops, then fold them in half lengthwise with the printed side facing out. Cut out the hole in the middle.

Align the sides of two pieces and glue them together. Keep gluing in more pieces until the ornament is as full as you like. I used 16 pieces for these, but you could add even more. Then string the ornaments on thread.

just curious if you think they could be put together at the tips...6 of them...to be a snowflake of sorts, if done in white. ? I suppose I can try it, but I'm thinking you've already fiddled with the possibilities.

These are great! just what I was looking for and they look super simple to make! thank you for posting :) I am making some to add to a tree branch DIY on my blog, I will link to your blog that I used your DIY once I make these :)thanksLisa www.needlesandwool.blogspot.com
